Change path service
targets

After you create a path service,
you can retarget it to another cluster member or migratable target
server. A migratable target is a logical target that serves as a
grouping of services, such as a path service, and which is active on
only server member in a cluster. High availability is achieved by
migrating a migratable target from one server member to another when a
problem occurs on the original server. A recommended best practice is to
target the path service to a migratable target, so that a member server
will not be a single point of failure. You can manually migrate a
migratable target or you configure it for automatic migration.

To retarget your path service instance to a different cluster member
or migratable target:

If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).

In the left pane of
the console, expand Services and select
Path Service.

On the Summary of Path Services page, select
the instance you want to configure.

Clear the currently
selected cluster member or migratable target server check box.

Select the cluster
member or migratable target server where you want to target the path
service.

Note: When a path service is targeted to a migratable
target, it cannot use the default store, so a store must be
configured and targeted to the same migratable target. As an
additional best practice, the Path Service and its store should be
the only users of that migratable target.
